Anyone else as OCD as me?!

[The Moose]

So, I like to change into 4th gear early and hold the gear longer than any other because the rev counter arm and the speedo arm point in the same direction (i.e. same number of degrees round)

Anyone else as OCD as this?!

ETA: And no, Tyre OCD isn't as OCD as this rev counter/speedo ste!!

The logo on the cigarette lighter has to be the correct way up. I always have to look back at my car after I'm walking away - I'm not sure why, I just do

Climate control temperature must be on an even number for me.

For those with OCD on this thread (does it drive you nuts that the abbreviation isn't in alphabetical order)... ?

Correct. Cigar lighter and acc should always be oriented correctly. Key fobs should be pressed an additional time to ensure that th car knows that you want it locked. Flaps lids and covers should always be secured.

You people with your fancy cars having numbers for the temp control. Mine just goes from blue to red!

Ahhhh yes - there's also the radio that needs to be on a number ending in either a 5 or a 0!!

Yeah, but does your knob not have to be lined up correctly?




Oh, wait that didn't sound right did it...

The key fob thing .... I press it, it clicks, the lights flash, the buttons go down ... it is clearly locked. I still have to press it again to be sure

In which case, the arrows on the dial should all be at the same angle. Or set to their leftmost setting on leaving the vehicle.

Do you know nothing man?

Correct. Why would anyone in their right mind think that any other procedures are adequate.

You're clearly crazy. There's no need for that. I'm sorry to say, that I think you have an ocd problem.

My sun visors both need to be in the same position. Either both up, or both down. Pretty much always down. NEVER one up and one down...

Correct ... and look out of window on way to bed to make sure the red light is flashing so it hasn't sneakily unlocked itself ....
